GOVERNING DEVICE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application led January 2, 1912. Serial No. 668,993.

dynamos in particular and is particularly directed to the provision of a governing structure having two distinct speed stages of effective operation, each stage being complete in itself. This is designed to effect a saving of the fuel and wear upon the engine when the dynamo is under no load by automatically lowering the operating speed and in effectuation of this result, my governing structure is operative within a certain range of low speed of. the engine and is complete Ain its governing action within this range. When any load is connected to the dynamo my governing structure automatically causes the engine to accelerate up to a predetermined speed, and to automatically reestablishthe governing action, and in such reestablishment to effect or institute a second and complete governing action.

A further important object of my invention1 resides in the provision of a structure of governing device for engines which includes a governor transmission mechanism adjustable to assume a position of government for a low engine speed and a position of government for high engine speed, together with means automatically responsive to the throwing' on or off of the engine load to adjust this mechanism from one position of government to the other. I do not desire to limit myself to absolutely no load in the above statement, governor structure shall be utilized in connection with speeds whereby the engine load ranges between' extremely wide limits and not merely for such fiuctuations in loads as may occur in heavily worked plants where various machines or circuits are intermittently thrown on or off.

In this connection, it is my object to adapt my vinvention to dynamo circuits wherein the governor mechanism is automatically adjusted for government at its various stages by the throwing on or off of the external dynamo load as the case may be.

vMy invention is desirably utilized in the control of the valve of the engine driving but it is intended that the the dynamo, and contemplates, in addition to a centrifugally actuated mechanism, a valve leverage mechanism which is capable of holding the valve in either of two definite posltions with relation to the position of the c entrifugally actuated weights. More specifically, when the v'a-lve leverage mechanism 1s 1n one position the valve will be caused to complete its full length of travel while the centrifugal weights move through the inner half of their range, and when the valve leverage mechanism is in the other position,

the valve will be caused to complete its full travel when the centrifugal weights move through the outer half of their range. When the leverage mechanism is in what may be termed the normal state of adjustment, the governor will respond or begin to respond to a compara-tively high or great number of revolutions perminute of the engine shaft. lVhen the leverage mechanism is in its ab normal state of adjustment, the valve will come under regulation at a comparatively low rate of speed` or a comparatively few number of revolutions per minute of the engine shaft. It will be seen from this that the. engine may be governed completely whlle running at low speed which is amply suflicient when the dynamo is without. load. When a load is placed upon the dynamo the leverage mechanism is automatically adjusted for high speed of the engine and will effect a complete regulation of the engine at high speed. In conjunction'with this adjustable leverage mechanism, I utilize a peculiarl form of governor which is effective, not only to maintain the two independent ranges of governing action, but to positively and definitely create a space between such complete governing ranges. My preferred method of so spacing the ranges of governing action, is by the provision of a centrifugal governor of such a form that certain of its weights are arrested in their movement outward, from a central point when acted onby ycentrifugal force. These are arrested at a speed which constitutes the upper limit of the low range of speed of the engine. When these certain weights are arrested in their outward movements, the governing effect of the governor is eliminated untilthe engine has accelerated to a rotative speed which will have raised the centrifugal effect of the unchecked weights to a value equal to that of all the weights before cern tain of them were stopped, when the governor will again resume its function. The structure preferably utilized by me to produce these functions noted will be more amply described in the following specification.

My invention goes one step .further in that it not only provides independent stages of governing regulation and spaces such stages; but, it determinately spaces such governing regulation and by such determinate spacing definitely marks out the rate of speed at which the governing action for the low speed shall cease, and the rate of speed at which the governing regulation of the high speed shall be instituted.

A more explicit presentation of the operation of my invention may be given by the explanation that the leverage mechanism for the valve is' desirably automatically maintained in its abnormal position under electro-magnetic control from the dynamo when the work circuit of such dynamo is cut out. As heretofore explained, this leverage mechanism in its abnormal position is intermediately operative to govern the engine in its low speed stage. `When the work circuit is cut in, the leverage mechanism automatically resumes normal position and in consequence the governing action is thenceforth confined to the high speed stage of the engine. .From this explanation, it will b e apparent that the engine begins to accelerate.

immediately upon the cutting in of the work -circuit of the dynamo. Were it not for the peculiar structure and` operation of the governor proper, this acceleration of speed would be through an exceedingly small range. However, by the arresting of'certain of the weights of the centrifugal governor and by making these weights of a determinately greater mass than those which continue unchecked, I am enabled to definitely space these independent stages of gov` erning action to any desired degree.

An important structural feature of my invention resides in the peculiar form of governor utilized. This governor is most satis- -factorily embodied as converging track elements which are forced apart by centrifugally movable wedge elements, to which elements such centrifugal movement is vimparted by a drivelfrom the engine. These elements may be weights of any type, but are desirably in the form of rollers comprised of oppositely rotatable parts, so rotated by independent frictional contact with the converging tracks in their outward movement. It will be understood that the movement of one or more of these track elements controls the valve of the engine. The

opposite rotatory movement of these parts is particularly effective to eliminate friction yin a manner to be described.

The preferred embodiment of my invention is Shown in the accompanying drawings, in which similar characters of reference designate corresponding parts, and in which-- Figure 1 is a side elevation partially broken away of my governing structure showing a diagrammatic representation of the dynamo and working circuit in operative relation thereto, Fig. 2 is an elevation of my governing structure partially broken away, Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken on line 3 3 of Fig. 2, Fig.,4 is a. vertical section taken through one of the roller weight elements of a form desirably utilized by lne, and, Fig. 5 is a similar section of a modified form of weight roller. In the drawings, the engine body is shown at 1 and in conjunction therewith there is shown an inlet passage Q, a valve chamber 3 and a valve 4 desirably of a reciprocating nature, although the valve shownY in Fig. 2 and designated 4a is of the butterflyy type. What` ever may be the type of the valve, it is desirably directly under the control of a lever element or elements 5 and leverage mechanism carried from the engine body by a bracket 6. The dynamo which is driven by the engine is diagrammatically shown as at 7 and connected therewith is a work circuit indicated by numerals 8 and 9 and cut in or out by a switch 10. f

Mounted upon the bracket 6 is a pivotedy element having a yoke arm 11 extending to the governor to be hereinafter described, a substantially vertical arm 12 carrying an electro-magnet 13, and an intermediate arm 14. Pivotally carried upon this pivotally supported element between the electro-mag-l net 13 and the arm 14 is an arm 15 extending 1n a substantially vertical direction and connected to the lever element or elements 5.

.The arm 15 carries an armature-16 for coaction with the electro-magnet 13 and shown in its position of rest when all current is shut ofi and the engine is not running, as held against the electro-magnet by the govthan a coil spring or other resilient element 17 secured thereto and to the \arm 14 at its opposite extremity. The exact position of the arm 15 in its retracted state, is vgoverned by a set screw element 18 carried by the arm 14. Similar positions of the various elements obtain when the engine is running beside of the dynamo there extends the line 22 leading to the pivot post 23 of an armature 24 operating in conjunction with and vernor spring which is necessarily stronger under the control of electro-magnet 25, but normally held away from said electromagnet by a spring 26 which holds the said armature normally against the contact 21. This normal condition presents itself when the work circuit s cut out by the opening of the switch element 10 and under these conditions, there is a closed circuit from the dynamo 7 through the line 22, contact support 23, armature 24, binding post or contact 21, line 20, electro-magnet 13 and lilie 19. The electro-magnet 13, being energized,

l attracts the armature 16 carried by the arm the armature 24 which breaks the circuit through electro-magnet 13 and permits the arm 15. to return to normal position upon its supporting element under the tension of spring 17 Under these conditions, a circuit is closed through dynamo 7, working circuit 8 and 9, line 27 and electro-magnet 25 through connections 25b and 25a to pivot 3 contact 23 and line 22.

sult is the stepping up of the governing action', so as to render it applicable to the high speed stage. This necessarily results because of the different relative positions ofl the valve with that of the centrifugal actuating weights as hereinbefore described.

The governor mechanism operating in conjunction with the mechanism just described, is desirably supported from the bracket 6 by a laterally extending arm 28 and is comprised of a shaft 29 rotatable under the vcontrolof the engine by means of any form of gearing, an example being shown at 30. This rotating shaft is threadedl at its upper end as at 31 for the adjustable reception of an internally threaded collar 32 adapted to be locked in place by a set screw 33.

My governor is of peculiar form in that it comprises independent weight members coacting with complemental track members, the Whole controlling valve leverage mechanism acting against the regulated tension or resistance of a coil spring 34. In the specific construction shown, there are superposed trackways and the lower one of these trackways is'shown at 35 as having a long track 36 and a short track` 37, the cross sectional form of said tracks being shown best in Fig. 3. From such view it will be apparent that this track is a single one and such The immediate reis my preferred construction. The upper trackway is carried by the element 38 which is formed with a long double track 39 and a short double track 40 with astirrup 41 depending therefrom. The lower o-f the superposed elements is rigidly secured -to the rotatable shaft 29 in any preferred manner and the manner of securing this element is shown at 42. The upper element'38 is slidably secured on the shaft by the feather 40a. This upper element has a circumferential groove formed therein for the reception of an encircling collar 43, to which is pivotally secured the yoke 11a of the yoke arm 11. One of the essential features of this structure resides in the relative direction of the tracks 36 and 39 and 37 and 40. It` is essential that these tracks converge as they retreat from the central shaft 29. This convergence may be producedin any manner and in the present embodiment I have shown the lower tracks 36 and 37 inclined upwardly. Operating between and upon said tracks are independent roller elements desirably of a form similar to that shown in Figs. 4 and 5. In these figures it will be apparent that the roller elements each comprise an axle 44 carrying a. ball race 45, an annular' rim 46 and interposed ball or roller elements 47. By vreference to Fig. 3, it will be seen that the axles of these roller elements run upon the double trackways 39 or 40, while the rim of each roller element runs either Vupon the trackway 36 or 37.

In operation of the governor Proper, it will be seen that the rotation of the shaft 29, driven by the engine, will inevitably cause movement due to centrifugal action of the roller weights. In the movement outwardly of such Weights, the axle will rotate inwardly because of its frictional contact with'the double trackway and the rim will rotate outwardly because of its frictional contact with lthe single trackway. Outward movement of these roller elements, will result `in a wedging action due to` the relative convergence of the tracks and the upper of the superposed elements will be yraised against-the tension of the regulable resistance spring 34. This upward movement will be transmitted through the leverage mechanism to the valve and will thereby effect a governing of the speed of the engine.

The act of the weights moving on their tracks causes the outer member to rotate in one direction and the inner member in the opposite, hence the use of anti-friction bearings at this point` which is the only one wherein movement occurs under stress of centrifugal force opposed by the spring.

The separate and independent stages of government hitherto mentioned are effected in the following manner: Continued outward movement of the roller elements brings one of such elements into contact with the depending stirrup l1. Before proceeding further it may be well to state that the description and showing deals with a governor using two pairs of tracks and two weights, one for each pair of tracks. The number of the tracks and weights may, of course, be varied at will. Proceeding with the eX- planation of the operation, a contact of one of the weights with the depending stirrup 4,1, serves to arrest further outward movement of this weight whilethe other weight is unimpeded. Thus, above the speed which carries the one roller to the stirrup, the governing effect is eliminated and the engine will accelerate until the centrifugal component of the single weight equals that of the two weights before the movement of one was arrested. This creates the independent stages of governing action. In the actual operation of my invention, I provide the weights which are to be caught by the stirrups of a greater mass than the weights which are unimpeded in their outward movement and by definitely proportioning the masses of these different weights, I regulate the variance between the high and low speed stages.

The coperative function of my whole invention as described, is as follows: The engine is running at low speed and driving the dynamo, preferably all the time, although this is a matter of choice. lVhen the work circuit is cut out, the dynamo is unloaded and the circuit through the electro-magnet 13 is closed. The governor acts through the leverage mechanism to control the position of the valveand such control is desirably complete for the low speed of the engine, all the centrifugal weights being then in action. Closure of the switch element 10 may be considered equivalent to the cutting in of any lamp or other apparatus. This immediately results in a return of the arm 15 to normal position preparatory to the control of the engine in its high speed stage.` The engine immediately begins to accelerate because of the throwing open of the valve due to the release of the arm vl5 and such acceleration ofr the engine causes an increased outward movement of the weights. However, at this time, one or more of the weights is checked in a manner hitherto described and the'governing action being transferred to the unimpeded weight or weights, the acceleration of the engine continues, until it is at a sufciently high rate to again commence movement of the unimpeded weight or weights outwardly. This is the interval during which the governing effect is eliminated. At the speed when the unimpeded weights have become centrifugally equivalent to the combination of such unimpeded weights together with the checked weights, the high speed stage of government commences and from then on tion, it will be apparent that I have provided a governing device which is partielllarly suitable in coperative action with a dynamo and work circuit therefor, in such a manner as to permit o f idly running the engine and dynamo at a low speed, with a' great saving in fuel and wear and that the placing of a load upon the vdynamo is automatically effective to'step up the speed of the engine to give normal voltage at the dynamo terminals. This action is desirably entirely automatic and both the high and lowstages of speed of the engine are subjected to complete governing control. conjunction with these features of improvement, I consider that one of the elements of the mechanism which I have shown and described constitutes, in itself, a vast improvement in the art. This improvement is the independent roller weight structure. This independent lroller weight structure is particularly important in the present invention because of the reduction of friction which necessarily results and this isl about equallytrue with regard to a governor putto general use.
